Mikagura Uta at 2PM
One of the more well-known locations. The music siren plays a song relating to the Tenrikyo religion to signal citizens following Tenrikyoism to pray. Honestly, it's confusing on if it's actually active or not. Don't rely on it.

The music siren was originally installed atop the Iga Ueno Chamber of Commerce and Industry, until it was moved to its current location in 1984. A new city hall building was built at some point, but the city opposed the decision to move it to the new location. Very well known music siren.

Based off its design, there was likely an older music siren here at one point. Hasn't run in about 40 years according to a user on twitter. Now the Suzuka University of Medical Science's Chiyozaki campus.
